Dear Administrator,
This is to inform you of the issuance of the SFY 2024-25 2% supplemental payment and the reconciliation of prior SFY payments for actual 2023 cost report days.
The 2% supplemental payment ($140 million) to all nursing facilities was included in SPA 20-0072. Additionally, each State Fiscal Year the estimated Medicaid days used for previous 2% supplemental payments are reconciled to actual Medicaid cost report days for the relevant prior years’ payments.
The processing of the 2% supplemental payment will take effect in cycle 2480, with a check release date of 03/19/2025. If funds are owed due to the reconciliation, the Medicaid cycle payments will be subject to a recoupment until the balance is paid in full. Additionally, the 2% supplemental payments will be reduced for any liabilities owed to the State and these providers will receive a “paper” check as opposed to a direct deposit.
If you have any questions regarding these payments, please email nfrates@health.ny.gov and someone will respond to your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Laura Rosenthal, Director
Bureau of Nursing Home and Long Term Care Rate Setting
Division of Finance and Rate Setting
Office of Health Insurance Programs
